Abstract:

Earthworm coelomic fluid has garnered attention for its potential anticancer properties, with studies primarily concentrated in China and India. This research investigates the extraction methods, protein concentration, and effects of coelomic fluid from Eisenia fetida on breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and 4T1. The warm water shock and electric shock methods were compared, revealing differences in yield and protein concentration. While the electric shock method was more efficient in extraction, the warm water shock method yielded higher protein concentration. Both methods inhibited cell growth, with the warm water shock method exhibiting slightly superior results. Regression analysis showed concentration- and time-dependent responses, with optimal effectiveness observed at lower concentrations and within the initial 24 hours. Comparative analysis indicated comparable inhibitory effects between extraction methods. Our findings contribute to understanding the anticancer properties of earthworm coelomic fluid and its potential as a therapeutic agent. Previous studies have demonstrated its apoptotic induction of cancer cells and synergistic effects with chemotherapeutic agents. Further research is needed to explore its efficacy in clinical settings and potential in combination therapies.
